It has some additional image control options like rotate, flip, adjust
brightness/contrast/hue.

As a secondary option if you are having any trouble with the basic image
upload/cropping tools.*

Safari users with certain versions were experiencing some errors with the basic
tools. 99% of the time it works fine, but some incompatibility is causing some
users to experience an error. This alternate method is a completely different
tool. So if you are a Safari user and experiencing a problem cropping an image,
try this tool.

Choices Explanation

You have three options for getting your thumbnail image:

From a web page:

This is the most common choice. Linky Tools will pull images from the link you
have entered at the top of this page (if you want to get the images from a
different link, you'll be able to edit your link on the next page without
changing the link your thumbnail will be tied to).

From A File:

Choose a file from your local computer.

Generic Thumbnail

You won't choose an image. A generic Linky Tools icon will be used. This is
useful if you don't have an image ready, or if you are having trouble with the
other two choices for some reason.

We are constantly working to try and adjust, but the combinations and variations
of file names and web addresses are ENDLESS.

If "FROM WEB" is not working, try saving your image to your local computer, and
use "FROM FILE".

If neither of thos work, you can still use GENERIC ICON to put your link on the
list.

Explanation

When you submit this entry, Linky
Tools will check the page link you have entered to see if you have a link
back to the host blog. It might take a few extra seconds to check
this..

On your blog post, you must have a link back to this address:

If the back link is not present on your blog, you'll be returned to this form.
If you do not understand this Back Link requirement, contact the owner
of the blog you just came from with your questions.

Explanation

Linky Tools NEVER sells your email address or name to any
marketing companies. You'll NOT be put on any 3rd party spam lists, EVER.

Only the owner of this list will see your email address.

Explanation

You can choose to crop your own image, or let Linky Tools auto crop it.

The thumbnails are square. Auto crop will crop out the largest square possible
from the center of your image.
